Its a function that executes an exe and gives you back its task ID as a double

something like

[CODE=vb]dim a as double
a = shell("c:\my_pr og.exe" , [vb constant for the windowstyle])[/CODE]


hope that helps

He's presumably suggesting the use of a Link/Hyperlink button to the .exe, as seen in VB.net and later.
